A living religious week in which dozens of neighbourhood brotherhoods move through Seville on precisely timed but weather-sensitive paths.
What you’re here for
- This is not a party - the bars around the routes are, all night
Where to stay
- Santa Cruz, if you can get it a year out
- Triana, across the river and better for it
What to eat
- Bodega Santa Cruz
- Eslava
- torrijas, which only exist this week
Know before you go
- Book a flexible central or Triana base now; individual brotherhood routes, live crowd maps and weather decisions arrive much later
- La Madrugá - Thursday night into Good Friday - is the one. Nobody sleeps
- Do not applaud, and do not stand in the middle of a route. It is a religious procession that happens to be a spectacle
